Yard experiences - PLEASE GET IN TOUCH

[Kirsty_whittle]

Hi everyone,

My name is Kirsty and I am a freelance journalist.

I am looking for some case studies to accompany a survey on livery yards, that will feature in one of the top equestrian mags. I need to speak to FOUR people about their experiences.

The type of stories I am after are:

‘I’ve found the perfect yard’
‘Yard bullies made my life hell’
‘I travel for miles every day to get my yard’
‘I’ve changed yards (eg) 10 times in 10 years’

If you have any other interesting stories - whether they are good or bad - please get in touch.

Thanks for your help!

Heehee, I've got quite a good story actually.

Yard bullies did make my life hell but now I'm at the perfect yard!

Not sure if I'd want my name shown or anything though.

Shame your doing that and not doing it from the Yard owners point of view i have loads of stories !!

People refusing to worm

People not coming down for 3 weeks

teenagers that throw a strop cos their pony ripped its rug ( i mean it was tiny)

not paying

making out they can ride but they cant

people who generally take the pi55 !!!!

Hi Josie,

I would love to speak to you about your experience; I'm sure we could make you anonymous if you'd prefer.

Do you want to send me a private message, briefly summing up what happened, along with your telephone number and I'll have a read through and get back to you?

Stacey - let me get back to you on that one as it might be a possibility. I just have to check with my editor.

Thanks guys.

If you know of anyone else who has a yard experience that they would share please ask them to get in contact with me.

K
